Stage actress Ciara Renee has scored a leading role as Kendra Saunders aka Hawkgirl in The CW’s proposed "Arrow"/"The Flash" spinoff series. The superhero team-up show will blend recurring fan favorite characters from both shows along with three new DC superhero characters never seen on TV. Hawkgirl doesn't seem to quite fit into that latter group though as she has been portrayed on screen in both the animated "Justice League" series and in a guest starring spot on "Smallville". In the new series, Saunders will be a young woman who is just beginning to learn that she has been repeatedly reincarnated over the centuries.
